I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested, estimated by reference to the income tax year 2015, is set out in the following table.

All income earners for Income Tax Year 2015 (provisional)

Range of Gross Income - €Number of Income Earners
0 to 9,000 368,585
9,001 to 12,000 107,297
12,001 to 15,000 116,836
15,001 to 20,000 213,112
20,001 to 25,000 216,626
25,001 to 30,000 201,085
30,001 to 40,000 324,506
40,001 to 50,000 229,709
50,001 to 60,000 157,805
60,001 to 70,000 107,045
70,001 to 80,000 77,378
80,001 to 100,000 91,301
100,001 to 120,000 47,956
120,001 to 150,000 34,809
150,001 to 200,000 22,512
Over  200,001  24,642
Total2,341,203
The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2012 adjusted as necessary for income, self-employment and employment trends in the interim. These are, therefore, provisional and may be revised. It should also be noted that a married couple or civil partnership that has elected or has been deemed to have elected for joint assessment is counted as one tax unit.

The Deputy may be interested to know that Revenue's statistics webpage contains, inter alia, detailed information on the distribution of income earners for previous years and this page will be updated in due course as more recent statistics become available.
